Press room

MGA stages an inspiring and entertaining program of exhibitions and events throughout the year. As Melbourne's only collecting institution focussed on photography, and Australia's only public gallery devoted to collecting Australian photography, MGA's programs are often newsworthy.
For general media or publicity inquiries relating to the gallery's events, please contact the MGA Media and Communications Coordinator Mark Hislop on (03) 8544 0500.
